Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My friend was in care at Edward House from November 25 2024, he went for initial assessment as I repeated that his dementia had gone down hill suddenly and he needed care and in every aspect he received first class care, he loved the activities and always told me how wonderful the food was. He's a wanderer
with peripheral edema in his legs but they always watched him carefully and sat him down, the home is totally safe + secure.

Now my mother has been in Edward house for 3 months, I am happy and have peace in mind she is looked after well. Manager, her Deputy and all team member are welcoming. I have had several phone calls during the time my mum was not well. Manager took her to A&E just as precaution. I cannot praise their
kindness, being cheerful and informative all the time.
I have rated facilities GOOD how ever building and communal areas can benefit of a face lift. also garden can be more welcoming for residence to sit outside when the weather is good.
Every where is clean all the time however it would be better if it is safe around residence to use fabric softener in the water when floors being mopped so area smells nice.

My mother has been a resident for 30 months and in all that time she has been shown kindness and compassion, although she is quite frail and very confused now I've never seen her distressed, she regards Edward House as her home and I ( her daughter) am delighted with the care she receives.
Thank you

Review from Barry H (Nephew of Resident) published on 18 June 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I have rated it 4/5 as the overall score, as we are a recently new user of this service, so we have little experience to go on. However, the experience for the last 3 weeks that we have been associated with Edwards House suggests it's a nice place to be. However the facilities are tired and could do
with some modernisation, but this does not reflect on the carers competence and caring attitude. I don't really know about the activities laid on as yet, but I understand that they are designed to also help with the mental well-being of the residents, which is a good thing. My observation about the team (Management and Staff) at Edwards House is that they offer a first-class service.

My brother has been in Edward House for nearly 18 months, and we are very pleased with the way he is looked after, The manager and her team are very supportive, kind, caring, compassionate and helpful, not just to him but to us as well. We cannot praise the residence enough for always being pleasant,
cheerful and welcoming, keeping us up to date with events. My brother is quite settled now and is happy with his life in Edward House which gives us peace of mind knowing he is so well looked after.

My mother has been in Edward House for 18 months now. My sister and I are very pleased with the care she receives. Her room is bright and comfortable. The staff are all very welcoming and very supportive to us as well as my mother. We feel comfortable ringing to discuss anything and the staff equally
informs us of any health issues or problems that may arise. They obviously have got to know her very well. The location is perfect being within an area she has known for 70 years and easily accessible for us. A lovely home.

Staff are always helpful and caring to my mother.
They make my mother as comfortable as she can be with her dementia which can obviously be challenging.
The food and facilities are good and the location of the house is also very convenient.

From my initial meeting with the manager at Edward House when she assessed my dad in the hospital, we have been treated with the utmost respect and consideration. The staff at Edward House are kind, caring and compassionate to my dad and also to us as a family. My dad has settled in really well and
I would not hesitate to recommend Edward House to others looking for a care home.

The home is fairly basic but has a homely feel. The staff are absolutely wonderful. Kind, caring and welcoming. There's always plenty of tea and biscuits! They provide activities such as exercise classes and bingo. My dad always enjoys the Skittles competition. They hold celebratory events such as summer
BBQs and families are very welcome.
The food is wholesome, homely meals which again my dad enjoys, and he loves his cooked breakfast!

Mum spent three weeks convalescing here following an operation and was very happy. She settled extremely quickly; staff were very efficient and caring and Mum was made to feel like one of the family. Having been reluctant to go here initially, Mum was reluctant to leave! We would have no hesitation
in placing her, here again, should she require respite or longer-term care, and the family would like to thank the team at Edward House for their kindness and for providing us with peace of mind.

The care home requires updating in a number of areas.
The bathroom and shower look very old, the décor is tatty and the rooms need refurbishing.
We pay £850 per week and although the staffing and meals are generally good this does not represent good value for money.

It will be coming up to three years since my mother arrived here.
Not her choice to leave her house but due to dementia and wandering in the road outside, her safety was in question.
She settled in after a couple of weeks and now is very happy and content, mainly due to the very caring nature of the
staff!
We visit at least every week to see a happy person, in her own world mentally and often in somebody else’s clothes.
Seemingly going on forever (96 last April) but she is not the Mum I knew, which is very sad!

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.619)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.619) out of 10 for Edward House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.619 for Edward House is calculated as follows: ( (83 Excellents x 5) + (38 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 126 Ratings = 4.619
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Edward House is based on 10 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 22 registered maximum number of service users is 4.4, which has been reached with 10 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: Registered Manager Joined: 2022

My journey into a care home started with my grandmother years ago. She was a nurse, and I will always remember her taking so much pride in her job. I joined the care sector in 2005, working in a nursing home as a carer. I did my NVQ 2 and 3 at my local hospital and spent 6 years working in the hospital in the stroke ward. I was soon assigned champion for the older ones in the ward and was involved as much as possible, but after 6 years, I wanted to try something new. After leaving the hospital I went on to work in the community as a team leader and it was at that point, I had the opportunity to complete my NVQ 5 and after a few years of working in the community where I went to work for an agency, I was assigned to work in a care home. I have been in Edward House for just over two years. I love working at Edward House.


It is a very homely atmosphere in here. I'm so proud to be able to do things for the residents, talking with them and spending time with them and seeing them do things that they haven't done in a while is a real joy. When I see them happy, having a good time and being looked after properly, I'm happy.
